› How do you spark creativity?

I find that my most creative time is between 10am - 11am in the morning. A well made flat white and some good coffee shop ambience is usually the perfect way to kickstart my creative power hour. If I’m lacking creativity or feeling a bit flat then a short walk in the woods also helps clear my head and get the creative juices flowing.

› How do you keep the work-life balance?

I’m still figuring this one out, and I’m sure my girlfriend will agree. My recent improvements have included attempting a dopamine detox, and trying not to focus on any client work during the evenings and weekends. The latter has definitely helped and I find I actually get more work done during the hours I have available in the week.
